General Comments/Likes

Catherine’s Area backcountry accessed off the Supreme lift at Alta is a great zone, skied here once in 2004. Went out to drop the A frame Cliff with some friends, ended up just watching them hit this 25 to 45 foot cliff. Snow was so deep. Great zone and awesome cliff that resembles a A frame house.

Dislikes

Didn’t hit the cliff, my loss.
